Well, how are you?
I'm safe.
Well, how are you?
I'm safe.
But we want to get to a picture that you can have, you know, for all your warriors here, because they're on the aviation outfit.
You're going to be closer, I guess.
Or you were with them before, or around them?
Uh-huh.
Have you owned it all the time you've been in there?
Well, we've been following it down.
Right.
You've had the church.
I appreciate it.
I don't think they're all there.
Not really.
Well, someday, someday we'll be here trying to treat you with that.
Are you a burning tree?
Yeah, I'm a burning tree.
You've got to be proud of it.
It's here.
It's a great place.
It's a great place.
What is it?
About six.
Ten now.
That's good enough.
You're now getting up to eight.
I think you're six.
I think it'll be back.
Do you have a ten at the burning tree?
It was seven when I got here.
Good, good, good.
That's right.
You played too.
But not there.
Columbia.
Well, I'm useful on that.
I once had an eagle on the number three.
But, you know, that's a long part, three or four.
Two shots.
So, we were there.
And I thought, we retired.
We retired, yes.
That's right.
He's a great fellow, wasn't he?
Yes, he was.
Good to see you.
